...the other hypothesis is that ingestion of local honey exposes your system to local pollens and reduces the severity of future allergic reactions--not unlike periodic allergy shots. My MD subscribes to the theory and strongly recommends local honey for most everyone with seasonal allergies.

I was told (by someone, somewhere, long ago) that chewing a small piece of locally-produced honeycomb every day works best, but of course only for pollen allergies (which I don't have). No good for dust mites, animal dander, cockroach feces...
